    摘要: A method for determining a SiGe deposition condition so as to improve yield of a semiconductor structure. Fabrication of the semiconductor structure starts with a single-crystal silicon (Si) layer. Then, first and second shallow trench isolation (STI) regions are formed in the single-crystal Si layer. The STI regions sandwich and define a first single-crystal Si region. Next, silicon-germanium (SiGe) mixture is deposited on top of the structure in a SiGe deposition condition so as to grow (i) a second single-crystal silicon region grows up from the top surface of the first single-crystal silicon region and (ii) first and second polysilicon regions from the top surfaces of the first and second STI regions, respectively. By increasing SiGe deposition temperature and/or lowering precursor flow rate until the resulting yield is within a pre-specified range, a satisfactory SiGe deposition condition can be determined for mass production of the structure.

    摘要: A SiGe bipolar transistor including a semiconductor substrate having a collector and sub-collector region formed therein, wherein the collector and sub-collector are formed between isolation regions that are also present in the substrate is provided. Each isolation region includes a recessed surface and a non-recessed surface which are formed utilizing lithography and etching. A SiGe layer is formed on the substrate as well as the recessed non-recessed surfaces of each isolation region, the SiGe layer includes polycrystalline Si regions and a SiGe base region. A patterned insulator layer is formed on the SiGe base region; and an emitter is formed on the patterned insulator layer and in contact with the SiGe base region through an emitter window opening.

    摘要: A bipolar transistor structure and a method for fabricating the bipolar transistor structure include: (1) a collector structure located at least in-part within a semiconductor substrate; (2) a base structure contacting the collector structure; and (3) an emitter structure contacting the base structure. The interface of the emitter structure and the base structure includes an oxygen impurity and at least one impurity selected from the group consisting of a fluorine impurity and a carbon impurity, to enhance performance of a bipolar transistor within the bipolar transistor structure. The impurities may be introduced into the interface by plasma etch treatment, or alternatively a thermal treatment followed by an anhydrous ammonia and hydrogen fluoride treatment, of a base material from which is comprised the base structure.
